STICHIRA’ PROSOMIA. TONO 4. Hai dato come segno.

ACCOLTA LA LUCE  DELLA DIVINA CONOSCENZA, NE HAI AVUTO ILLUMINATI GLI OCCHI DEL CUORE, O SAPIENTE, HAI SAGGIAMETE ABBANDONATO LE TENEBRE DELL’ ERRORE  E HAI CONFESSATO IL CRISTO CHE HA ASSUNTO LA CARNE. IL SIGNORE DI TUTTI. RAFFOZATO QUINDI DALLA POTENZA DELLO SPIRITO, O CRISANTE, TI SEI MOSTRATO SUPERIORE AI TORMENTI, O DEGNO DI OGNI LODE.

HAI CONSIDERATO COME TELA DI RAGNO GLI ADESCAMENTI DEL NEMICO E GLI INCENTIVI DEL PIACERE; SOSTENENDO IL CARCERE TENEBROSO, SEI STATO ILLMINATO DAL DIVINO FULGORE E RIEMPITO DI SPIRITUALE FRAGANZA MENTRE STATI NELLA MELMA; E COME TIMO PARANINFO HAI OFFERTO A CRISTO  LA SPOSA 

SENZA MACCHIA DESIDEROSA DI IMITARTI.

SE STATA FERITA DAL DOLCISSIMO AMORE PER IL CREATORE, E TI SEI COMPLETAMENTE SOTTRATTA ALL’ERRORE ATEO. SEI ENTRATA NEL DIVINO TALAMO COME SPOSA DI CRISTO ATTRAVERSO MOLTI TORMENTI DEL CORPO, O ILLUSTRE DARIA, DIVINO RICETTACOLO DELLO SPIRITO, DECORO DEI LOTTATORI E SPLENDORE DELLE VERIGINI.

 

Troparion — Tone 1

Let us honor the like-minded pair of martyrs / Chrysanthus, scion of purity, and supremely modest Daria. / United in holiness of faith, / they shone forth as communicants of God the Word. / They fought lawfully for Him and now save those who sing: / “Glory to Him who has strengthened you! / Glory to Him who has crowned you! / Glory to Him who through you grants healing to all!”

Kontakion — Tone 1

In the sweet fragrance of holiness, O Chrysanthus, / you drew Daria to saving knowledge. / Together in contest you routed the serpent, / the author of all evil, / and were worthily taken up to the heavenly realms.

Saint CUTHBERT, évêque en Bretagne

Apolytikion Tone 3

Tone While still in thy youth thou didst lay aside all worldly care and didst take up the sweet yoke of Christ, O godly-minded Cuthbert, and thou wast shown forth in truth to be nobly radiant in the grace of the Holy Spirit. Wherefore, God established thee as a rule of faith and shepherd of His rational flock, O converser with Angels and intercessor for men.

Kontakion Tone 1

Having surpassed thy brethren in prayers, fasting, and vigils, thou wast found worthy to entertain a pilgrim-angel; and having shone forth with humility as a bright lamp set on high, thou didst receive the gift of wonderworking. And now as thou dwellest in the heavenly Kingdom, O our righteous Father Cuthbert, intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.

Preface from the Old English liturgical books for St. Cuthbert's feast day: "It is truly meet and just, right and availing to our salvation, that we should always and in all places give thanks to Thee,

O Holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God, upon this day of the departure to Christ of the most holy priest Cuthbert, who first of all became an example to saints in his daily life, a life of most temperate and most chaste conduct, and afterwards followed the contemplative life in the wilderness for many years, nourished only by the love of the God of deathless life, and then was chosen to the rank of the episcopate, being invited not by his own will but by God’s providence, and the counsel of the churches. For he had ever fought manfully and mightily against flesh and blood, and the rulers of this ærial realm, seizing victory with the helmet of hope for salvation, and the breastplate of righteousness, and with the shield of faith, and the sword of the Word of God, and being protected on the right hand and on the left, the soldier of God overcame the battle-formations of the enemies, and the Lord wrought many miracles by him, and he foretold his death many days before. For he commended the governance of the people to the King and the Bishop, and he set out for the holy desert, and he gave up his spirit to God the Father almighty accompanied by a heavenly, holy multitude from the Gospel. Thee, therefore, O Lord, we entreat, that by the intercession of holy Bishop Cuthbert, we may be counted worthy to reach the harbour of joy, and the heavenly realms of Him before Whom there stand innumerable choirs of Angels and Archangels, and they say: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth," etc. -
